Pros: Safe, comfortable, roomy, and attractive.
Cons: Terribly unreliable, too many high repair costs, and poorly built.
The Bottom Line: Don't be deceived by this cars attractive looks and desirable driving character. It's unreliable from A-Z.
For a few months, during the Fall of 2005, I owned and drove a Ford Taurus sedan. I really had a love/hate relationship with the car, which I will explain in more detail later in my review. It was inexpensively priced, had a good safety record, was ...

Cons: many, many recalls, this car WILL fall apart on you
From experience, I would have to say that this car is not worth the money you would spend on it. This was my first car and it had eighty thousand miles on it. It is a six cylinder, 3.0 liter. From the start, I have had problems with my breaks, causing...

Pros: Very dependable and oh, so comfortable to drive, even for a short person like me.
Cons: Not much that I can think of
The Bottom Line: Due to horror stories from others I would be leary of purchasing this car again, even though I had only good times with it.
Wow. Out of curiosity I started reading the Taurus reviews. They only confirmed my suspicions. I think the Taurus tends to be a lot like a cocker spaniel. If you know cockers you will find they come in good and bad. It seems they have two very different...

I bought my 1991 Ford Taurus L Wagon from a local used car lot in really good condition. It said 71,XXX on the five digit odometer so there was no telling how many miles was on it. I needed to have a car, and I always admired the Ford Taurus Wagons. I...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: Comfortable, many nice features.
Cons: Transmission went out at 79,000 miles. Head gasket soon followed. Heater core went 99,000.
The Bottom Line: Do not recommend this car as a primary vehicle, particularly with the 3.8 V6 engine and transmission drive train. My experience with this car made me purchase a new Saturn.
Update 3/30/04: The heater core went out on this car, which basically was the last straw. We sold it as-is, last October. It had 99,000 miles on it. This is our forth Taurus, our second wagon. Our first two Taurus's were an 86 GL Sedan and 87 GL ...
